At Penguicon 4 in 2006, Nifty Guest Howard Tayler of www.SchlockMercenary .com took this video of Penguicon co-founder Rob Landley throwing a bowl of liquid nitrogen in the swimming pool, and the resulting billow of fog.
We throw in all the liquid nitrogen left over after making liquid nitrogen ice cream in Penguicon's Consuite all weekend. Then we jump in. Loads of fun. The woman in the bathing suit (Molly) is the same one who did that in last years' video of this event.
James Hall of the cable program FOCUS interviews Penguicon's Matt Arnold about the science fiction and open-source-software convention, including footage of liquid nitrogen ice cream and the marble roller coaster construction set. This segment is posted with full permission of the FOCUS program.

In order to make ice cream with liquid nitrogen (LN2) at Penguicon, we first dispense some liquid nitrogen from a dewar into a bowl. This video also shows us scooping some out with styrofoam cups, discussing LN2 ice cream flavorings, and waving a towel that has been dipped in LN2. This video was taken at Penguicon 4.0 in 2006 in Livonia, MI.
At Penguicon 4 in 2006, we gathered to sup the coffee sacrament and say in unison, "God, I needed that!" Here is the processional of the barista and acolytes as we begin to worship the holy bean. They are chanting "coffea arabica". This part of the ritual is homage to a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
At Penguicon we make ice cream with liquid nitrogen. whenever we do this the floor ends up covered in fog, which many people find fun to jump in as you can see here. This video was taken at Penguicon 4.0 in 2006 in Livonia, MI.
